Masta Ace – “Slow Down” (Prod. by MF DOOM)

This one should please all the pessimistic hip-hop heads out there. After a year-plus of talk that the prolific pairing of producer MF Doom and Masta Ace would be dropping a joint LP together, fans finally have their first glimmer of hope the project will actually happen. The official single from MA_Doom: Son of Yvonne is called “Slow Down” and delivers exactly what most would’ve hoped from the duo. Bringing his visionary sense of lyricism to Doom’s flute-infested sampling and stuttered drums, the Brooklyn MC weaves listeners in and out of a trippy tale about how susceptible even the sharpest men can be when pretty girls use their looks to leave you shook.

The moral of the story? Watch out for roofies and keep your fingers crossed the rest of their project sounds this timeless, when it supposedly drops this summer.

Anyone know where that flute sample is? for some reason i feel like this is an old doom beat from his special herbs instrumental albums, it sounds familiar as fuck and I remember he threw ghost a few old beats from the special herbs compilations for fishscale

You got to understand the risk to take with hip hop artist such as DOOM. There isnt money in hip hop, its almost more rewarding to be limited like DOOM, then send out material that cost money and not making the money back because of society choosing whats played, etc.. he wont turn into your modern day Drake or Chris Brown by choice. We have to appreciate that and his work.
